[b]Hello Soldiers,[/b] We’ve gotten our hands on some top-secret documents, so let’s go through them!SQUAD 44 - 6 Month Roadmap
First off, some meaning behind the sections: [b]Current Operations:[/b]- These changes are coming soon in the next updates (some have already happened)
- These are currently being developed for future updates
- Plans for far into the future, [b]highly[/b] subject to change and could take longer than 6 months to implement.
Current Operations
- Chapter 1 Overhaul
- New map textures
- Updated weapon textures
- New environmental meshes
- Overall optimization and bug-fixing
While our graphics overhaul of Chapter 1 is ongoing, our coders continue working hard to fix bugs in the game and push further optimization where possible, while combating previous negative game metas (such as backline camping). As such, systems like the new spawn and logistics system continue to be refined, and the team is grateful for all the feedback from the community in assisting with that. As this rework continues to develop, the Logistics section will start to receive more love in the coming updates, with more buildables coming to give the Logistics section a greater punch in the future and further define their role in the team. You can see some examples of new buildables and emplaced weapons coming to the game in the future below.
In addition to the above, weapon textures will soon start getting a pass to bring them up to a new standard. We are also looking at bringing to the game various new historically accurate weapons and vehicles to add greater variety to the existing factions.
In Concept
- Further chapter overhauls
- Increased accessibility
- Improved admin tools
Following multiple requests from Server hosters, admin tools will also be looked at throughout the summer, while tutorials and an improved Arnhem Range will be developed to help support new players accessing the game.
Future Operations
- New game mode
- New faction
- New theatre
- Increased server player limits
